Milan were strongly linked with a move for Fellaini in the latter stages of last season before the Belgium international signed a new contract at Old Trafford.

Fellaini was a favourite of former Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho, but has been restricted to a bit-part role since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became United boss last month.

According to Nieuwsblad, Milan are keen to strike a deal for Fellaini this month, with the Italian giants believing that the 31-year-old is open to leaving United despite only recently penning a new and improved contract.

Fellaini has scored twice in 21 appearances for United in all competitions this season.
